If 7" +43 stock height: rear fenders will rub with full load on tight turns

Interesting post from Simple Racing Solution for the suspension tune-up done with this BM model OVT'ed M3. TEIN Flex Z coilovers were tuned to provide both daily drive comfort with the occasional spirited driving at Marilaque.

Yes. Pero para upgrade ka na din, get a 18x8.5 na rim. Ideal offset is +44, then pwede ka mag 235 40 na goma

Or 19s...225/40 is pretty much the limit if you're to stay close the stock diameter. Never go 35, it'll be jarring.

Anyone here into 19" x 8.5 rims? What's the recommended offset that will not cause any rubbing? Is +38 offset safe or stick with just +45?

Thanks sir Travs!

I'm also looking for lowering spring options for our M3s. Eibach Pro Kit seems to be the preferred brand but it's hard to find a legit dealer shop locally.

I found about this other brand H&R Springs locally distributed by Bilstein Philippines. I search the H&R website if it has a specific model fit for the BM/BN model but looks like it only has for the BP model. I learned about this brand from this recent vlog from Levi (https://youtu.be/zLf1H_Jk8ME)

Now I'm considering KYB K-Flex springs as another cheaper option. I found about this from Speedlab's youtube post https://youtu.be/jcLDPYUGx9o. I'm curious to know how it performs compared to Eibach.
